Marshall University has released the full schedule of undergraduate courses that will be available this fall on its South Charleston campus.
Marshall’s South Charleston campus has previously housed primarily graduate courses. Officials earlier this year announced plans to add undergraduate course offerings there starting in fall 2016.
Targeted to Kanawha Valley residents who may not want to commute to Huntington or live on campus, the new undergraduate program will allow students to start their bachelor’s degrees in South Charleston and then transition to the Huntington campus to finish their studies.
Some of the courses available this fall in South Charleston will include:
- First Year Seminar (FYS 100)
- Fundamentals of Communications (CMM 103)
- Beginning Composition (ENG 101)
- Principles of Biology I (BSC 120)

- Computer Science (CS 110)
- Freshman Engineering Seminar (ENGR 103)
